Modern Pembrokeshire home for holidays in the ancient village of Treffgarne 8 miles from Newgale Sands

Spacious pet friendly Pembrokeshire home for holidays in the ancient village of Treffgarne near Wolfcastle

A newly built smart modern and spacious home in a small private cul-de-sac of 3 houses. Set in the scattered hillside village of Treffgarne near Wolfscastle, Ty Meillion is deep in the heart of beautiful Pembrokeshire and midway between the Preseli Hills and the sea.

This light and airy home is furnished in a contemporary and minimalistic style with bold splashes of colour scattered throughout in local hand-crafted glass splash-backs, decorative bowls and wall plaques.

There is an open plan dining/kitchen and comfortable sitting room, both with French windows opening onto a patio. The 4 bedrooms are on the 1st floor (1 en-suite), accessed from a galleried landing.

Within a 15 minute drive is Newgale, Pembrokeshire's premier surfing beach - famous for fossils too! Along the bay, Broad Haven beach, with its wide sweeping stretch of sand, is popular with families and just behind the beach there is a general store and post office, 3 pubs, a restaurant, tea rooms, cafe, take away and shops that sell and hire out watersports equipment.

The Preseli Hills are within an easy car ride with spectacular scenery, iron age stone circles, pony trekking along newly opened trails or simply gentle hill walking - your dog is welcome too.

About The Area

Treffgarne

Famous as the birthplace of Welsh hero Owain Glyndwr. The Western Cleddau River tumbles through a beautiful deep wooded gorge here alongside the railway line to Fishguard - the construction of which defeated Brunel and practically bankrupted the Great Western Railway!

Pembrokeshire Anglers Association

There is a fishing centre in the Gorge run by the Pembrokeshire Anglers Association which includes a superb purpose-built pool and fishing platform, built especially for disabled anglers.

There is easy vehicular access and picnic facilities - superb game fishing in outstanding surroundings. Day tickets are available for visitors.

Nant Y Coy Mill and Pembrokeshire Creations Gallery & Gift Shop

Just 2 miles away at the north end of the Gorge, Nant y Coy Mill with its restored working water-wheel is usually open all year round - a warm welcome awaits and a warm fire in the winter months. Breakfasts, teas, barista coffees and delicious lunches are on offer, all making the most of local produce.

The Gallery Craft & Gift Shop adjoining the Mill showcases contemporary home accessories. Work from over twenty Pembrokeshire craftsmen is on offer - ceramics, wood turning, jewellery, prints, cards and much more. There are also bespoke items from all over Wales – you are sure to find something to take home as a memento of your holiday!

Treffgarne Fort

A little south of Nant y Coy Mill a lane heads uphill to a small parking area below Treffgarne Fort. The Fort, with its well preserved inner rampart, in places nearly 4 metres high, is a dramatic setting amongst the rocky Dartmoor-like ‘tors’ above Treffgarne Gorge. It was possibly the centre of an extensive system of Iron Age settlements and traces of roundhouses have been discovered nearby. Circular earthworks of a number of smaller defended farmsteads can be seen on both sides of the gorge.

Wolfscastle and Letterston

Wolfscastle (4 miles) gets its name from the mote and bailey castle erected by the Normans on what is called the Landsker Line - the line of forts stretching from Roch near Newgale to Amroth in South Pembrokeshire which was a dividing line between the Normans in the south and the Welsh in the north. Part of the Bailey is cut through by the A40 but some of it remains and has recently been cleared and opened to the public.

Foodies will be in heaven with the varied selection of eating places within a short drive of Clover Hill; Wolfscastle Hotel comes highly recommended with a welcoming atmosphere and exceptional food either in its smart new contemporary bistro or restaurant for more formal dining; there is a fine stone-built pub, The Wolf Inn, offering bar snacks and Brains Real ales; and in nearby Letterston, The Harp is a friendly country pub and Something’s Cooking, an award winning fish and chip shop – sit in or take away.

Activities

Sealyham Activity Centre, based in a Georgian Mansion near Wolfscastle, offers a range of day activities both on land and on the water and is an approved activity provider for the expedition section of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

Scolton Manor Museum and Country Park

This is a Victorian Country House with ‘upstairs’ & ‘downstairs’ exhibits and a newly renovated walled garden complete with a beekeeping centre in the old stables.

Fishguard Market Town

Fishguard is a small coastal town with a range of amenities including a bank, post office, delicatessen, interesting and independent shops, doctor, chemist, vet, filling station and a great haberdashery shop/tea room.

A farmer's market is held in the Town Hall every Saturday selling excellent local produce.

On display upstairs is a phenomenal tapestry depicting the Last Invasion of Britain. This Bayeux-style work is a truly remarkable record of the event sewn by local residents.

Stena Line Day Trips to Ireland

A daily ferry service to Rosslare operates from Fishguard’s harbour where there is also a railway station with regular services.

Melin Tregwynt (Woollen Mill)

There has been a mill at Tregwynt near Abermawr and Aberbach beaches (12 miles) since the seventeenth century, the present business in the same family for over 100 years. It now sells a huge selection of woollen goods both from the Mill Shop and to companies worldwide, including Harrods. Come and browse in the shop and enjoy a welcome break in the coffee shop with lots of nice home made goodies to sample.

Solva

Do make time to stroll around the lovely little village of Solva where you will find a handful of interesting shops, a gallery, a pottery and a choice of places to eat and drink.
